From what I have read, the "resident" geese in Maryland were put here by DNR. The geese were actually born in MD, so they had no instinct to migrate back to Canada every winter since their birthing place was Maryland. I think the entire ban on lead shot was a big pile of BS. Yes, maybe a couple of waterfowl might have died from lead poisoning, but was it really that big of a problem? As humans, I think we try to regulate way too much, and then end up doing way more harm than good.
The greatest cause for lack of hunting if probably lack of access to land. Trying to get permission is almost impossible nowadays. Such is life.
